The difference between GOTHIC and BOHEMIAN



There has always been a confusion between the two unusual fashion subcultures: GOTHIC AND BOHEMIAN. People think these are the same. But the point to be noted is that thses are completely different, both from their origin and their perspective of fashion. Also, people think Goth is more a stereotypical culture but was originally as more of a rock culture. Now let us see this in more detail.


GOTH


• The History
Talking about Goth, it originated in the UK during 1980s as a pop culture (from wikipedia) which people quickly started associating with the witchcraft and deathly ones. (With this, I also want to share my experiences of something which I came across. If ever you search about modern day witches, you will probably see a bunch of girls dressed in goth culture. This is something I saw on both Google and Pinterest.) Its aesthetic and magical look was the reason behind its interpretation. The style most often involves a complementary look of black dress with various black (or oxidized) accessories. This was also paired up with black hairs.

 
• Latest adaptations 
Nowadays, if we think of the goth culture, we can see some of its modes in Halloween parties a it is considered to be suitable for that. Presently, we cannot see such completely gothic costumes as because of the upgradations and it's difficult to carry on with it. But, we can still see some traces of it during some particular times like some theme parties or clubs or any weddings. However, modern day teenagers also adapt to this with the popularity of the colour BLACK amongst them.

BOHEMIANISM

• The History 
It is a lifestyle which people follow and is a term for those who were wanderers and adventurers. It is a kind of gypsy group. Mainly, people involved with arts and all are dressed like this (highly printed clothes with various jewel pieces).


• Present scenario 
These days, mostly all the people who have a bohemian (boho) style are not wanderers. This has evolved to a fashion statement and is widely recognized by people having knowledge about fashion. This is being designed to wear with shrugs, ripped jeans, denim jackets, boho and tribal jewelleries. (Also, I want to make this clear that tribal fashion is also different from boho). 

• For the accessories 
This trend is often paired up with densely printed bags, particularly tote bags. Also, asymmetrical earrings and oxidized bracelets with unique designs having animal prints and naturalistic patterns.


If you want to get some of the boho and gothic fashion, you may search them online and get some for yourself.

Tie and Dye Fashion.....

Not only it looks beautiful, but is efficient to do at home. Here are some ways you can DIY it and the things which look good with this trend.  PRO TIP: Keep the cloth a bit damp (not too much) to make the dye spread more and give a better shade. HOW TO : • You can start with twisting the fabric into spiral pattern from the middle and tying it up with threads or rubber band. Now, paint with different colours of dyes onto the cloth and choose the colour scheme according to you.  • Another way can be tying small stones to the cloth in an irregular pattern and securing with a rubber band .
